Keeping Our Kiddos Nourished

This year's drive runs September 1-30, 2026. Every September, Apple Autos employees, customers, and neighbors rally together with one goal in mind: keep kids in our community fueled and focused throughout the school day.

Every snack you donate goes to 360 Communities, whose Partners for Success® family support workers distribute them directly in local schools. It is a simple way to make a real difference for students right here in the south metro.
